I've had this problem for a while now and to be honest I think it's cause am using a Wireless connection but I can play VC:MP fine on the laptop. I can join a server then a few mins later i'll time out for some reason.. I just want to know if anyone had a similar problem and can help me fix mine.
Time out = lost connection?
What is your internet speed [56kb/s or something else...] ?
How good is your PC? o_o
If you mean by timing out, losing connection.
Yes, I've had that problem on my laptop some time before too.
Solution: buy a better router. Thats all I can say :/
Wireless is bad for online gaming
Check the netstats (F6) and see if you have any packet-loss.
